Accountancy services and advice for Education & Academies

Education & Academies

The education sector is heavily regulated with strong governance and financial pressures. Increasingly complex regulations make it a challenging time for everyone in the sector. Understanding which tax incentives to take advantage of, and which to avoid, can be a minefield without specialist help.

We look after the accounting and business advisory needs of those in the education sector, whether they are an early-years Nursery, standalone Academy, Multi Academy Trust, Free School, Independent School, University Technical College (UTC), College or University College.

All academy trusts must have a programme of internal scrutiny to provide independent assurance to the board that its financial and other controls, and risk management procedures, are operating effectively. We can act in the role as Internal Auditors providing assurance to Principal, Governors and Audit Committee that all the key risks are being managed effectively.
